Changes at Work…

One of the changes in the new Health Codes for the state of Georgia include not being able to have fingernails, not that it bothers me, as well as wearing no jewelry on your hands or arms other than a plain gold wedding band. It’s to help cut down on transmission of food poisoning. Even if you wash your hands regularly germs get on jewelry or can be trapped between watch bands and the skin as well. It kind of sucks because it means I have stopped wearing my watch altogether. I like my Mickey Mouse watch particularly, although lately I have had my eyes on a Lange Sohne like this one.

As often as I work it’s almost foolish for me to get another watch now. Luckily I always have my cell phone with me and I can check the time from it.

Magic Suite

I posted about the forthcoming suite for Object Desktop subscribers called Magic back in the middle of the month and I just realized that I had not posted anything else. It was released and I switched from my spooky desktop to Magic immediately. I really like the skin. It’s bright without being too bright and all of the fonts show up great, which was an issue in the dark Halloween skin I was using at the time. Here’s what it looks like on my desktop.

Another Long One…

I ended up spending several hours this afternoon in a P&L meeting. Got home about six and had a bit. I have about an hour or so before I go pick up one of my cooks and take him into work. My SVP is going to be in my stores tomorrow and as a result I will most likely be in the nastiest one cleaning until at least midnight. Luckily I am off the next two days so I only have to deal with the preparation and not the actual visit, but I will have to deal with the aftermath.

Time to go out for a smoke. I don’t have anything particularly useful to post right now anyway. Being as how I am off the next couple of days I am sure I will have plenty of posts up.

What Part of Fall Are You?


You Are Apple Cider


Smooth and comforting. But downright nasty when cold.

A Little Break…

I had every intention of coming home to write tonight but think I am going to glue myself to the TV and then pass out. Cya…

The Paris Catacombs

Back in the 1700’s Paris cemeteries had gotten so overcrowded that the bodies wouldn’t even decompose. The stench in the city was so bad that they moved a lot of them into the catacombs, which had originally been a limestone mine. This is one of the creepiest places on earth and has pretty much been off limits to the public for a long time.

Movabletype Podcast Plugin

Byrne Reese has released a Podcast plugin that allows you to link to a podcast on the Internet including your own podcasts or just simple MP3 files that may be on your server and has included a freely downloadable flash MP3 player as well. I have been waiting on a decent mp3 player that I could embed in posts and it looks like this might be it. I am extremely happy to see this and might get back into doing an occasional podcast.

I thought that the recent Melting Pot Heavy Metal Addiction podcast would be a good one to test it with.

More on the California Wildfires

Just some recent news and video clips about the fires raging in California right now. Have to wait until I actually have free time to actually post any contentHappy

Friday Night Game

The game went pretty well tonight. We picked two seniors and both were in the band. Both also missed their kicks so as it stands right now, the girl that made the field goal during the first home game is the only one in the running for the $1000 scholarship. We are going to let two more kick during half-time at the last game of the season and if either of them make it then we will have a kick-off after the game. If neither of them kick the goal then we will go ahead and present her with the check.

I left during half-time, right after the kick and photographs. Villa Rica was getting their asses handed to them. The score was 21-6 at half-time.

Tomorrow is Pete’s birthday party, so hopefully my stores will be fully staffed. I need to get out of there by 2pm so that I can get home and get cleaned up.

Other than that it’s been a pretty uneventful day, just an extremely long one.
